I installed a whole house surge protector in my breaker panel-took ten minutes-bough a GE surge proctor from Home Depot--it will work in the panels used in the villages
need the following;
1) 2 free spaces in the panel (must be full spaces and above each other) (NOT ACROSS)
2) remove the panel cover,
3)remove two twist outs that cover the space you will plug the surge protector into
4) plug the protector in
5)attach the free wire to the neutral bar
6)replace the panel cover
If you're not comfortable working inside of a panel--turn off all the breakers including the main
7) close the main & then put the individual breakers one @ time
